Shimano SLX A Casting Reel

The new Shimano SLX 71casting reel combines extraordinary value for money with solid performance at a remarkably low price. The Shimano SLX baitcasting reel is the perfect choice if you are just getting started with casting reels. It takes many of the tried and trusted features found on Shimano's more expensive reels and packs them into a distinctive compact HAGANE body that is easy to use, even for inexperienced anglers. At the cheaper end of the market there is often a trade-off between quality and price. But SLX has rewritten the rule book. For starters, it uses a high-end HAGANE body made of lightweight aluminum, with a strong structure that works most effectively when under pressure. Casting is controlled by Shimano's SVS Infinity spool braking technology, which can be adjusted almost infinitely from an external dial to achieve the exact amount of pressure required based on the style, preference, and size of the lure being thrown into the water. And to ensure minimal vibration when casting the superb Magnumlite III, the S3D reel benefits from Silent Tune technology taken directly from Shimano's most advanced models.
